ESSENTIAL BIMONTHLY HEALTH NEWS FOR GERSON THERAPY PATIENTS AND HEALTH CONSCIOUS INDIVIDUALS — FROM THE GERSON INSTITUTE
“Dying to Have Known”
Kroschel Completes
New Documentary
by Howard Straus
It’s really done! The documentary that we
spoke of in the last Healing Newsletter
(Vol. 21, No. 2, Mar./Apr. 2006) was finished exactly as predicted, the day before
Charlotte Gerson’s 84th birthday, March 27.
Now, considering how much work there
is to do on a movie, and the fact that Steve
Kroschel achieved this monumental task,
like The Gerson Miracle, virtually by himself, you will appreciate the speed and efficiency of the film maker.
To make matters even more difficult for
himself, in the course of his filming, Steve
not only traveled all over the United States,
he went to Holland to interview a Dutch
MD, Wilko van der Vegt on his over-20-year
Gerson practice, and traveled with Wilko to
the site of a clinic he is opening soon near
Marbella, Spain.
He then flew to Japan, where he interviewed Prof. Yoshihiko Hoshino, MD, a
professor at a Japanese medical school and

Steve is now looking for a major distributor for this film, which certainly deserves it.
If The Gerson Miracle won Best Picture at
a film festival, Dying to Have Known should
(in our humble and totally unbiased opinion) win an Oscar! Just the significance of
the evidence that Steve presented, and the
testimony from established experts makes
this film a watershed. If skeptics and critics actually watch the film and still feel that
the Gerson Therapy is untested, unproven
nonsense, their minds must be welded
shut.
Therapy for nearly 14 years with spectacular results. He also filmed Dr. Takaho
Watayo, a great admirer of Prof. Hoshino’s,
and one of Japan’s pre-eminent oncology
surgeons, who is using the Gerson Therapy
for post-operative care of cancer patients.
Dr. Watayo has had such excellent results
that he presented a paper to a Tokyo symposium and published it in a journal, causing quite a stir.
Steve visited some severe critics of the
Gerson Therapy, and allowed them to have
their unimpeded and unedited say, and you
can imagine what their opinions were: total
denial of any benefit to anyone from the
Gerson Therapy, organic food or coffee
enemas. Interspersed with these opinions
were praise and documentation from top
scientists, experts in nutrition, agriculture,
surgery and natural therapies, and interviews with healed patients and their families. Steve even found and filmed Bill
Schickel, now 88 years old, one of Dr.
Gerson’s healed lymphoma patients from
half a century ago!
As usual, Steve’s photography of his
home state of Alaska, the fertile fields of
Pennsylvania, fruits and vegetables, the
Roman ruins near Marbella and his assorted wild animal friends is simply stunning,
partially because he filmed the entire work
on 35mm film stock, not videotape, and

High dose Interferon therapy began one
month later. The drug’s effects were devastating: Gene became very weak, depressed,
lost about 50 pounds, felt hopeless, ran
fevers, had shakes—and eventually was
unable to continue the drug.
Many years earlier, one of Gene’s aunts
had heard of Gerson via Dorothy Day.
Apparently a friend who was very seriously
ill had been sent home and told ‘to get her
affairs in order’ was helped by Gerson in
the early 1940’s. This person finally died

in 2003 at the age of 89, and during these
many years had been in great health! Gene
was encouraged and in October of 2000,
after five weeks of drug treatment, took
himself off the Interferon. On December
10th, he entered the Mexican Gerson clinic
and started the strict Gerson Therapy.
His problems didn’t clear rapidly. One of
the most serious side-effects of Interferon
is that it causes very deep depression.
Gene had this problem along with such
serious physical, emotional and mental
weakness that he had a very hard time continuing, even after starting the Gerson
Therapy. He had much encouragement
from his fiancée, who was very positive
—yet he was in such poor emotional condition that he didn’t think he would survive.
Eventually, Gene consulted a psychiatrist
who urged him to take an anti-depressant
drug. Gene resisted at first, but was finally
unable to manage and took a tiny dose
(about a quarter of the prescribed
amount) of the prescribed drug,
Klonopin®. Even after the first dose, he
felt as though a heavy curtain had lifted
from his mind. He actually continued taking anti-depressants (Celexa® later) for
about a year before weaning himself off
them.
His energy returned, he started hiking
and joined a professional choral group.
Gene remains in good health.

ONLINE NEWSLETTERS, EMAIL LIST, ENDOWMENT, EARTHFAIR
Thanks to all of you for your membership!
Your support and encouragement keeps
us going! I have so much news to tell you
that I am sharing Anita’s column for this
edition.
First of all, you can now order individual copies of our newsletter on-line, starting with the last edition, through the
STORE section of our website. Just go to
Newsletters and click on the “electronic
PDF version” for the date/volume you
want.
Secondly, we are starting an email list.
We plan to email updates, invitations to
events, late-breaking news and more.
Please email, call or write to Client
Services ([email protected]) with your
email if you want to be added to our list.
Third, we are now starting to build an
endowment with the assistance of ENDOW
San Diego (www.endowsandiego.org).
Endowments are permanent. They are
funds with the requirement that the prin-
cipal is never spent. The balance in these
funds is invested, earning income that is
then spent for our work in perpetuity. If
you are interested in finding out how you
can make a gift to our endowment fund
(including property, stock, life insurance
or retirement assets), please contact me.
Additionally, we have started receiving
matching gifts from corporations such as
Hewlett Packard with an Employee Giving
program. When an employee donates to
us, the company matches their gift. Some
companies are also more likely to donate
directly to organizations that their employees contribute to or volunteer with. We
will be sending a survey to you in the
upcoming months to find out where you
work.
We also joined GET TO GIVE (www.gettogive.com), a local San Diego community
network that will be expanding nationwide
through on-line shopping in the future.
When our supporters shop with merchants
in the network, those businesses donate
3% to 18% of every purchase to the
Gerson Institute.
Gerson Institute will have a booth at the
17th Annual EarthFair on April 23rd in
San Diego. It attracts 60,000 visitors and
is the largest free annual environmental
event in the world. We are excited to get
our message out to so many new people.
Lastly, we are taking the beginning steps
to research the results of the Gerson
Therapy, beginning with documenting the
information we currently have on over
1,700 Gerson Therapy patients. After we
complete these steps, we can apply for
research funding to conduct more extensive studies. A University of California at
San Diego researcher is volunteering his
time to mentor us.
I wish that I could meet and talk to
every single one of you. If you have ideas
for us or just want to talk, give me a call.

Our Poisoned Water Supply
It’s Time to Dump Fluoridation!
by Darrel Crain, DC, Health Writer
“Water, gentlemen, is the one substance
from which the earth can conceal nothing.
It sucks out its innermost secrets and
brings them to our very lips.” By coincidence, Jean Giraudoux wrote these words
in 1945, the same year fluoride was first
brought to American lips through the
municipal water supply of Grand Rapids,
Michigan. And so began the Great War on
Cavities. Water supplies in the cities of
America that day became Weapons of Mass
Medication. The noble goal of this war, of
course, was to enhance children’s dental
health. Unfortunately, as Mr. Giraudoux
also observed, “Everyone, when there’s war
in the air, learns to live in a new element:
falsehood.” It turns out that water also
sucks out dirty industrial secrets and we
are expected to swallow them.
The “father of fluoridation,” Dr. Trendley
Dean assured everyone in the 1930s and
1940s that the addition of fluoride to water
was “safe and effective,” even “necessary”
for strong bones and teeth. Dr. Dean later
gave courtroom testimony on two separate
occasions that his original claims were
based on invalid statistics. Perhaps we are
now in a position to realize that “safe and
effective” is a powerful secret code used by
captains of American industry in place of a
different term, “hideously toxic.”
We have only to recall that DDT in that
same era was considered “safe and effective,” so much so that it was freely sprayed
in classrooms and on the picnic tables of
American schools. Oops! What about the
assured safety of asbestos-lined pipes?
Sorry! Or harmless leaded gasoline? Wrong
again! Or the lingering global legacy of
leaked PCBs from transformers? Way bad.
All these products, save fluoride, have been
removed from common use, but only after
fierce political battles were waged to overcome powerful economic interests.
California state law now requires fluoridation of municipal water. A large portion
of San Diego County will begin receiving
fluoridated water within a year or two, in
spite of strong public opposition. The scientific and ethical arguments against fluoridation are so overwhelming, one must ask,
how is it possible that fluoridation retains
enough support that laws are enacted
against popular will? The apparent answer
was well stated by Upton Sinclair, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something
when his salary depends on not understanding it.” In order for the rest of us to
understand fluoridation, let’s all go take a
hike and follow the money trail!
First, what does fluoridation mean? Do
we add calcium fluoride, which is naturally
present in water to a varying degree
already? No. Do we use pharmaceutical
grade sodium fluoride such as the stuff
your dentist puts on your teeth (and pharmacists once sold as cockroach poison)?
Nope, neither. The answer is in a riddle:
What toxic waste is very dangerous to handle and expensive to dispose of, unless you
happen to sell it as a medicinal product to
be added to water? You guessed it! It is a
23% solution of the highly toxic industrial
waste, hydrofluorosilicic acid, scrubbed
out of the smokestacks of the fertilizer and
aluminum industries. Yum! What other
tasty ingredients do you suppose make up
the remaining 77% of the solution? Ladies
and gentlemen, the odor you smell is the
fresh scent along the money trail. “The fluorosilicic acid is also contaminated with
small traces of arsenic, cadmium, mercury,
lead, sulfates, iron and phosphorous, not
to mention radionuclides,” according to
the Earth Island Journal. Whoa, I’m getting
thirsty!
No self-respecting money trail would be
found dead without a few bodies of evidence buried in the ditch alongside, a
decent smoldering scandal lying across its
path, or shredded bits of inconvenient science littering the trail. Let’s see what we
can dig up.
For starters, Americans already ingest
significant amounts of fluoride in beverages and processed foods. The Centers for
Gerson Healing Newsletter - Page 4
Disease Control (CDC) admits that 32% of
American children already display physical
signs of fluoride overdose, called fluorosis,
the discoloration and pitting of the teeth.
Despite assurances that this is a “strictly
cosmetic” health problem, evidence to the
contrary is accumulating. The largest and
most comprehensive study to date looked
at two New York cities. Newburgh, which
has been fluoridated for fifty years was
compared to non-fluoridated Kingston. The
study found no significant difference
between the two cities for children’s
decayed, missing and filled teeth, but discovered twice the rate of dental fluorosis in
children in the fluoridated city. Other studies in fluoridated cities have shown an
increased risk of hip fracture in the elderly,
as well as increased lead levels in children’s blood. Then there was the Harvard
researcher who last year apparently
attempted to cover-up evidence linking fluoridation to a five-fold increase in a type of
fatal bone cancer in young boys.
Julius Caesar once noted, “All bad precedents began as justifiable measures.”
Progress in science inevitably produces
loads of mistakes, but the key is to avoid
repeating them. Cicero’s words from 2,000
years ago still ring true, “Any man can
make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in
his error.”
A common belief holds that modern public decision-making no longer relies on
superstition and politics, rather it flows
from pure scientific reasoning. If that were
true, do you suppose we would have so
many modern skyscrapers with no thirteenth floor? The myth that fluoride is an
essential nutrient has long been laid to
rest. The time has come for American
industry to dispose of hydrofluorosilicic
acid in some other way besides forcing
Americans to drink it.
Let us admit that mass medication in the
nation’s water supply is a bad idea. As
Robert Dickson, M.D. pointed out, “Dental
decay is a condition associated with poor
nutrition, overuse of sugary foods and
drinks, poor dental hygiene and lack of
good quality basic dental care.” Citizens,
let us lay down our weapons and pick up
our toothbrushes!
Corporations Risk Irreversible Damage to Health (Ours)
The Threat of Genetically Modified
Organisms (Part I)
by Dr. Giuseppe Nacci
Cancer is a degenerative disease caused
by a lack of vitamins and poisoning from
chemical substances present in food. One
can estimate the number of vitamins and
pro-vitamin substances present in natural
plants commonly used as food by humans,
as more than 15,000 to 30,000. The introduction into modern agriculture of
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) is
an unjustified and dangerous alteration of
what Evolution has produced in plants over
hundreds of millions of years: plants on
which the subsequent biochemical evolution of superior complex animal organisms
has been based, culminating with the
advent of mammals in the last 65 million
years and then with the arrival of Man. The
delicate biochemical balance of the human
race depends on plant species remaining
integral, just as evolution created them,
because the health of every one of us is
based on the biochemical human cell, and
this depends, through the complexity of the
DNA, on the use of thousands of vitamins
and of the herbal-chemical compounds
present in nature.
GMOs
To get maximum agricultural production
today we resort to changing the genetic
patrimony of natural plants, with the aim of
changing their structure and making them
sterile (thus farmers have to buy new seeds
every year), patenting the transformation
induced and re-selling the product all over
the world. It has been stated that there is a
substantial equivalence between the genetically modified product (GMO) and that
obtained by selecting genetic characteristics (that is by means of naturally crossbreeding plants as has been done by man
over the course of thousands of years).
However the idea of “substantial equivalence”, cannot be supported, because the
natural crossbreeding of plants uses seeds
of the same species, while genetic manipulation (GMO) crosses all barriers, and
introduces genes from other types of vegetable species or even bacteria, viruses and
animal genes. In fact the majority of genes
used in genetic engineering come from living species which have never been a part
of the human food chain and actually come
from the DNA not of plants but of animals,
bacteria or viruses and/or transgenic retroviruses.
As a doctor qualified in nuclear medicine
the author has had the opportunity to study
the effects of ionizing radiation on complex
organisms for years. It is his personal view
that plants, too, are complex organisms;
every genetic modification caused by man
(through radiation such as that emitted at
Chernobyl, or viruses such as presently
used in GMO), however small that modification may be, will cause damage,
irreparable damage which often cannot be
seen, because man has only discovered a
limited number of safe vitamins and provitamin substances. There are, however,
tens of thousands of vitamins and other
substances present in plants, and it is these
which are responsible for the correct functioning of the biochemical human complex
and the human genome (DNA).
SEVEN immediate threats can be identified:
FIRST: The impoverishment of pro-vitamin complexes and vitamins in plants.
Vitamin and pro-vitamin compounds no
longer present in foods, with the consequent increase in degenerative and deficiency diseases like Cancer. On this subject, recent scientific research has shown
that transgenic food causes the immune
defense system of rats to collapse, with the
subsequent appearance of tumors.
The deliberate attempt to deactivate the
natural substances in plants(with Fortilin,
Bcl-2, Bcl-xl) is , for example, very serious. These are vitamins which enter into
the complex enzymatic mechanism of DNA
in mammals, inducing the apoptosis (suicide) phenomenon in these mammals’
cells if they are diseased though infection
or other illnesses (such as cancer). This
action of blocking apoptosis, introduced
experimentally into the tobacco plant by
means of a virus, is a serious act of deliberate damage inflicted on the ecosystem by
Gerson Healing Newsletter - Page 5
means of GMO; damage which, if it is
propagated on plants in commonly used
foods, may make it completely impossible
to cure tumors and other diseases by the
methods considered in this study. See:
Ichiro Mitsuhara: Animal cell-death suppressors Bcl-x and Ced-9 inhibit cell death
in tobacco plants, Current Biology, Vol. 9,
No. 14, pp. 775-778.
In addition to the possible disappearance of anti-cancer vitamins that induce
apoptosis (suicide) of tumors there is the
elimination of seeds from GMO fruits. The
importance of seeds as anti-cancer factors
resides principally in the fact that they contain vitamin B17.
The big GMO seed companies are putting
onto the world agricultural market fruits
such as Cucumis melo, Citrus limonum,
Citrullus vulgaris, Solanum lycopersicum,
Vitis vinifera, without seeds to inflict deliberate damage on the ecosystem.
SECOND: genetic mutation of plants and
the subsequent alteration of human biochemistry
Because of the introduction of foreign
genes (for example from animals, bacteria,
viruses and retroviruses) into the DNA of
plants, an alteration in the normal genomic
sequence of the plant occurs, with the
appearance of new proteins and/or the loss
of other proteins from a genomic
sequence. New substances similar to natural vitamins have appeared, but which actually have enzymatic and biochemical characteristics different from natural ones, and
therefore impose changes in their biochemical activity on the human genome,
once they have been introduced through
food.
Hence there is the potential risk of new
diseases of an “artificial” type, caused by
the manipulation (GMO) of vegetable
organisms, genetically polluted by new vitamin molecules with totally unknown inductive effects on the human DNA, but, given
its extreme complexity and vulnerability,
probably heralding serious damage.
THIRD: the threat to the anti-cancer diet
As has already been demonstrated by
Gerson and other authors, many substances contained only in biologically
grown raw fruit and vegetables are able to

Testicular Cancer, Radiation and Chemotherapy
Ned Wright’s Recovery: Five Years,
and Going Strong
by Ned Wright
As I sit here writing my cancer story, I ask
myself, “How can I describe in words, the
miracle I lived through?” So, since I am
not a writer, nor do I fancy myself as one, I
will just start at the beginning, and end at
the end.
The year is 1999, and the doctor had
just told me that he believes I might have
testicular cancer. He explained that they
would have to remove my left testicle and
then biopsy it. I can remember being very
concerned with the diagnoses of cancer as
I had always equated this as a death sentence. But my doctor did not seem overly
concerned.
After the surgery, he confirmed that it
was cancer, and called it seminoma. The
doctor said that he believed that all the
cancer was gone, but that I could do radiation to ensure its removal. I opted for no
radiation instead.
Then about six months later, I woke-up
one night with severe pains by my kidney.
My doctor sent me for a CT scan and a
needle biopsy. He confirmed that the cancer was back, and in my lymph nodes, and
that a mass was pushing against my kidney.
Now this seemed serious to me but my
doctor and radiologist assured me that my
type of cancer was easily destroyed by radiation. My doctor said that my cancer was
very sensitive to radiation. I remember
reflecting on pictures of Hiroshima and
thinking that generally every living thing is
sensitive to radiation. But, he is a doctor;
he must know what I need to recover.
So, a week later I started radiation. I
always thought it was interesting when the
nurse would say, “Stay still, and do not
move,” then she would run out of the
room, shut the door and yell, “Here we
go.” Except it was never we, it was just
me. After the nurse yelled, the machine
directly above me would start popping and
snapping as it sent the radiation deep into
my body. I did radiation twice a day, five
days a week, for twenty-two sessions altogether. After graduating from radiation
academy, I was sent to have a P.E.T. scan
and everything looked good. All that was
left was some dead cancer scar tissue. So,
we celebrated, I hugged the doctor and
thanked him for nuking me, and left to live
happily ever after. Except, six months
later I was having pain again in my lower
left pelvis. So now it’s off to see the oncologist for a chemotherapy consultation.
I did a P.E.T. scan and my oncologist
confirmed that my cancer was back. I was
bummed-out with this diagnosis, but again
the doctor confirmed how easily my cancer
is destroyed with chemotherapy. In fact, he
said there was a 95% cure rate. I forgot to
mention that my surgeon, and radiologist
had given me the same odds. Upon reflection, I should play poker with these guys! I
remember reflecting on the Chem-Warfare
training I received in the Marine Corps,
and thinking that it did not make sense to
put this stuff in your body, but my doctor
knew what was best for me! Anyway, my
oncologist explained to me that I would be
getting the same great chemo that Lance
Armsrtong had received. Lance could
drink chemo for breakfast and then win
the Tour de France! I was pumped-up,
what great thing would I do after receiving
my chemo. So, I started chemo with a
schedule of five days of chemo in a row,
then two weeks off, then a week of chemo
and so on, for four sessions, or twenty days
of chemo.
I started chemo weighing a very muscular (and ruggedly handsome) 225, and
ended weighing a sickly, bloated 265. I
cannot describe in words what chemo is
like, except I would not wish it on anyone.
Simply get on the Internet and Google
chemotherapy side effects: it makes for
interesting reading. So, as I went through
chemo, I remember doctors telling me
how advanced they have become with
chemo as compared to the old days. I canGerson Healing Newsletter - Page 6
not even imagine what horrors people
must have experienced. One month after
my chemo had ended I received another
P.E.T. scan and things were not looking
good, but it all ended as inconclusive. Six
weeks later I did an additional P.E.T. scan
and was told the cancer was back, and
now it had moved into four places in my
liver! The biggest mass in my liver was
4cm x 4cm. Cancer in the liver: I had
received a “death sentence!” I was to
become the guy you hear about, you know,
the tragic story of the good guy who struggles with cancer and dies leaving a wife
and three girls without a father! I was
stunned with this news. I went home and
through tears told my daughters what my
diagnosis was, and that I needed a miracle
from God. That was four years ago, and I
can still feel the pain in my heart today as I
think about it. What a total feeling of
hopelessness and ultimate failure.
So, now my oncologist said that I
should do a bone marrow transplant with
“high-dose chemotherapy.” I can remember saying what the heck was the dose of
chemo I received? The new oncologist
explained that I would have to do half of
the original chemo first, to see if I could
do the high dose. Then, after taking what
good bone marrow I had, they would give
me high-dose chemo, and as the doctor
said, “bring you almost to the point of
death, then put your marrow back in and
see what happens.” I asked what the cure
rate was, and he said 20%. I had dropped
from three procedures that were 95%
down to 20%. I told my new oncologist
that I would rather go home and die with
some dignity, than for my family to watch
me suffer through this torture. Plus, I had
given them three chances to cure me, and
they had failed miserably! I was given
three to six months to live.
Okay, lets summarize; I was diagnosed
with testicular cancer called seminoma; I
submitted to surgery, then radiation, and
finally chemotherapy with each one providing a 95% cure rate; after chemo I was a
sickly, bloated 265 pounds with cancer
now in four areas of my liver; my final
option was to do a bone marrow transplant
and high-dose chemo with a 20% cure
continued on page 7
rate; I was out of options as the high-dose
chemo was definitely not an option for me!
So now what?
I loved her from the moment I met her!
Each week at the clinic my blood was tested. And, each week my blood continued to
improve. In fact, at the fourth month of my
diet, my blood-work was completely normal!
I remembered a lady whom I had met
twenty years earlier who was drinking an
orange-colored juice one day. I asked her
what it was, and she explained that it was
carrot juice. Yuk, why would you want to
drink carrot root juice? She told me that
she had been on a special diet because she
had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer,
and carrot juice was a major part of the
diet. I asked what the name of the diet
was, and if it worked for her. She said it
was the Gerson diet and that she was cancer free at her five-year anniversary! I
remember saying, “Wow, if I ever get cancer, I’ll just do that diet.” But, when you
do get cancer, it’s almost impossible to
walk away from our incredible medical
cancer machine unless you’ve been spit out
and deemed “terminal.” I was terminal, a
medical reject, stamped incurable!
After leaving the clinic, I came home
and continued the diet for three years.
What great doctors the Gerson people are:
they truly have a passion for healing. I
went through all the healing crises that are
explained in the book. Of course with
each crisis I was convinced that I was
dying! While doing the diet, I studied all
the different vegetables that Dr. Gerson
used for the drinks and soup. I was
amazed that he was able to put together
such a disciplined nutritional program with
a very limited amount of research available. Of course, in Dr. Gerson’s book he
stated that his selections of different nutritional vegetables were born out of the
observations performed in his clinic. I
faxed blood-work to my Gerson doctors
every three months and we would make
changes in supplements as well as my diet.
I started the Gerson diet on April 3,
2001 at the [Gerson Hospital] in Tijuana,
Mexico, exactly 5 years ago!
I have regained my vibrant health, and
started lifting weights again last January.
This little testimony does not do justice to
the horrors I experienced within our medical machine, nor the [difference in] three
years on the Gerson Therapy.
Ned’s Story ...
continued from page 6
I stayed in this clinic three weeks
learning the hows and whys of this diet. I
read Dr. Gerson’s book, his daughter
Charlotte Gerson’s book, and Dr. Gerson’s
grandson’s book. I became a student of
the “Gerson Therapy.” While in the clinic,
I met Charlotte Gerson, and her greeting in
a German accent was, “You are much too
heavy, but soon you will lose this weight!”

induce the immune cascade against

particular phenomenon of apoptosis (suicide) of diseased cells. The explanation of
the effectiveness of these vegetarian diets
lies in the fact that patients do not consume food containing all the potential factors which promote cell growth, in particular they do not simultaneously consume the
nine essential amino acids (Valin,
Isoleucin, Leucin, Lisin, Metionin,
Hystidine, Tryphtophan, Phenylalanine,

Treonine), nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), vitamin B12, folic acid and also paraaminobenzoic acid [PABA]. Once, the
foods which contained all of these were of
animal origin (meat, fish, eggs, milk,
cheese, butter); both Gerson and other
authors (including Chinese and Indian
medicine) forbade the consumption of
these foods for at least a year. A vegetarian
diet, based on cereals,fruit and vegetables,
is, thus, the winning diet. These foods are
rich in protein and their use in cancer
therapy by Gerson and other Western,
Chinese and Indian schools of natural
medicine might seem surprising. No cereal

to perfect the Gerson Therapy. I want to
thank Charlotte Gerson for her heartfelt
commitment to ensuring that the Gerson
Therapy is available for those with no
hope. And finally, I want to thank everyone
involved at the Gerson Institute in San
Diego. Your dedication saves lives and
provides hope for people given the death
sentence! And finally, I want to thank Jesus
for saving me both physically, and spiritually! I am a better husband, father, and
friend today.
The following is what I have learned in
the last six years from the above experiences:
• The progression towards disease is a
slow decline that is sometimes unnoticeable until the diagnosis. The progression
towards optimum health is a slow incline
noticeable only to those who have experienced that loss.
• I did not get cancer because my body
needed radiation or chemotherapy!
• Take charge of your own health,
because your doctor does not die with you!
• The human body is amazing, give it
what it needs and it will do the rest!
• Nourish your body with the best food
that God gives you, and nourish your spirit
with His written word.

and no vegetable contains the nine essential amino acids. However, if consumed
together at the same meal they determine
the intake of the nine amino acids. With
the introduction on the market and possible contamination of all cereals, pulses and
other vegetables with GMOs, many of these
foods will contain ALL the essential amino
acids, effectively rendering cancer NO

Six Volunteers Fighting for Their Lives
Genetically Modified ...
Drug Experiments go Horribly Wrong
by Charlotte Gerson
In the course of my lectures, I have often
warned audiences about volunteering as
guinea pigs for new drugs. The problem is
that in many cases, the presentation by the
patient’s doctor is not clear. Terminally ill
cancer patients are told, “You should try a
new chemo drug that has shown promise.”
They are not told that, because the patient
has been declared to be ‘terminal’, his/her
life is ending anyway, and it won’t make
any difference if he/she dies a little earlier
—aside from serving a good purpose,
namely being a subject for testing. Another
thing the patient is not told is that a major
reason for these ‘human tests’ is to find out
how toxic the ‘new’ drug really is, and how
much can be administered before the
patient dies. The worst part of this situation is that the patient has to pay for the
administration of the ‘new’ drug being tested! The patient is literally paying for his
own murder.
the girlfriend of one of the victims said this
about her boyfriend’s status: “He was completely lifeless, like a shell. He can’t even
move his eyelids. His face is puffed out
like the Elephant Man. A day ago, he was
fine and now they are saying he could die
at any moment. The doctors say they don’t
know what they are dealing with: they don’t
know the drug.”
One of these “nightmare” experiments
was reported on the Internet, posted by
Mike Adams, quoted virtually verbatim
below:
We should also remind our readers of
the scandal that followed Merck’s withdrawal of Vioxx® from the market. This
arthritis drug killed over 55,000 people in
the course of five years on the market.
During the last four years, Merck earned
some ten billion dollars on Vioxx. And the
FDA invited the drug back on the market!
“On Wednesday, March 15, 2006, a horrific story came to light. A new drug, produced by an American Drug Company
(Parexel). The drug, TGN1412 was to be
tested and approved as a treatment for
arthritis, leukemia and multiple sclerosis.
“Eight healthy young men were used in
the experiment. Two were given placebos;
the other six are fighting for their lives.
Within minutes after the injections, it was
reported, patients began tearing their shirts
off, screaming that their heads were going
to explode. One patient’s head swelled to
triple its normal size, and patients were
soon passing out, vomiting or screaming in
sheer terror. Within minutes after the
injections, patients were suffering from
severe breathing attacks, convulsions and
excruciating pain. Only the two who were
given placebos escaped the horrors.
“Reported in The Sun, a UK newspaper,
“The Independent reported, ‘One victim
was a 21-year-old plumber trainee. His
family was told that he could not breathe
unaided, and his head and neck had
swollen to three times their normal size.’
“Drug companies around the world are
now concerned that they won’t be able to
sign up more human guinea pigs for their
experiments. The drug companies rely on
the availability of poor people to run
experiments on. They are paid a small
sum for acting as guinea pigs.”
Mike Adams continues: “The multiple
organ failures suffered by the victims in
this particular drug trial is not uncommon
to see from the long-term use of FDA
(Food and Drug Administration) approved
drugs being widely prescribed today.
People are not falling over screaming from
most drugs, but they are experiencing
long-term liver, kidney and brain damage
due to the toxicity of common drugs prescribed to treat arthritis, depression, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol and other
conditions.”

The transgenic viruses with which GMOs
are treated today enter into the DNA of the
plant, modifying it in a way which is
unknown to us. These viruses are supposed to lie dormant but there is nothing
to stop them reactivating in a manner similar to the well known RNA oncogenic viruses (Oncornavirus) or the DNA oncogenic
viruses (both inducers of leukemia, sarcomas, carcinomas, gliomas). These viruses
can also be the carriers of new diseases or
syndromes whose dynamics are still unfortunately little understood (AIDS, Mad Cow
Disease etc.), and whose origins remain
very vague (perhaps transgenic
viruses/GMO-Retroviruses).
There is an ample bibliography regarding
viruses used in GMO Oncornaviruses
(Retroviruses) and DNA-viruses
(Papovaviruses, Poxviruses, Herpesviruses,
Adenoviruses...)
We feel it is necessary, in oncological
patients, to test for possible genesis of
tumor activity through ingestion of GMO
foods.
This however requires access to confidential information, possibly patent-protected, regarding the models of retroviruses used by the GMO multinationals, and the
way they were modified by the companies
before the commercialization of the GMO
plants.
It's unlikely that the specific oncogenic
DNA-virus, used by the Agro-industrial
Multinational GMO (GMO-Plum-poxvirus,
GMO-SV-40), can be found in the oncological patients since this DNA-virus (unlike
the GMO-Oncornavirus [GMO-Retrovirus])
CANNOT be detected in the patient's serum,
the urine, or in the tumor. It has nonetheless been demonstrated that in the cytoplasm of mammalian tumors cells, infected
by this oncological DNA virus, remains a
very little fraction, but many specific, of
messenger-RNA, that does not exist in normal cells or in tumor cells infected by
other DNA-viruses. A positive hybridization,
created in laboratory, with radioactive
hybrid DNA(32P), what we would aim for
(Green, Perspect. Biol. Med., 1978).
